PREHEATING THE OVEN

Your oven can be preheated to a desired temperature prior to convection cooking.

NOTES:

When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the audible signal will sound and the temperature will be displayed in °C.

Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after opening and closing the door, as this will cancel the Convection mode.

The preheated temperature will be maintained for approximately 30 minutes.

After this time, preheat will be cancelled.

If you prefer not to preheat the oven where recommended in the cookbook section, allow extra cooking time.
